looping through files, doing something, and rename in new folder

Hi,

I'm really new at this but have several hundred files that i need to do something with and save with a new name. The files are 26 columns wide. I want to select some for renaming. I've figured out what to do to each file ("file-1.CSV"| grep -v "=" | cut -f 1-4,9,14,15,18,19,20,21,22,24,26 > file-2.csv) it's the looping part that has me stumped.
Any help appreciated.

Bob
